Description

Episode 1 (of 3): San Antonio Public Librarians Dacari Lambert, Michael Dunbar-Rodney, and Shannan Prukop discuss the queer past of San Antonio and particularly its history with female impersonators/drag shows, with assistant archivist Melissa Gohlke from UTSA. Listen in to learn about Zelldo and Hotcha, how the military handled all this queerness, and where the queer buildings of the past have gone. This is the start of a series of episodes covering the queer past, present, and future in San Antonio and how that intersects with libraries, and a new podcast we're calling: InQueeries.

To learn more about the UTSA Special Collections archives on San Antonio Queer History, or for more information about the collection, contact Melissa Gohlke at Melissa.Gohlke@utsa.edu
